The Kraken Posted 11 May, 2013 Share Posted 11 May, 2013 He'll be well in demand. Only 22, still quite raw but definitely a prospect. Reckon someone like Liverpool or Everton might take a chance on him (especially if Martinez goes to Everton). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurlock Posted 11 May, 2013 Share Posted 11 May, 2013 (edited) he's been great since the Huddersfield game. Pace, tricks and dribbles for fun. Like him a lot. He's very good but when he's not firing on all cylinders, he can try too much and gets quite erratic. Was poor against Swansea and had been out of form recently. But he's young and consistency should come with experience and maturity. But like other home grown players, someone will end up paying over the odds for him. Unsure whether the value will be there.

SNSUN Posted 11 May, 2013 Share Posted 11 May, 2013 FA Cup winners and relegated in the same season - that can't have happened to many teams. (Ignnoring Birmingham winning the League Cup and getting relegated a couple of seasons ago...) Wigan aren't down yet though, and if their players play anything like that then 6 points isn't impossible for them, but I think Man City have been strolling for weeks and Arsenal will be a different, more difficult nut to crack. Funnily enough, I'd struggle to name any QPR players I'd want, I definitely wouldn't want any of the Reading players, but there's a good two or three players from Wigan that I think could strengthen us. Maloney, McManaman (who was superb today and caused City's defence to lose their discipline) and their on-loan keeper Robles impressed me today too.

SaintBobby Posted 11 May, 2013 Share Posted 11 May, 2013 No team has ever won the FA Cup and been relegated before. Fair play to Wigan, would be sad to see them drop - would prefer Newcastle or Norwich to go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 11 May, 2013 Share Posted 11 May, 2013 Seemed a bit of a one trick pony today... He was better than that - Kompany was going mental having to deal with him - although I admit his finishing needs work. He should've scored twice today, once in both half. When he cut inside with on his left in the first half he could've scored, and the chance in the second half when he tied the City defence in knots definitely should've deserved a goal. Pleased for Wigan - I hope they go out and have a bloody good hard drink tonight - and forget they're playing on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 11 May, 2013 Share Posted 11 May, 2013 He's a greedy bugger isn't he, had he kept his cool and not tried to do everything on his own Wigan might have scored 4. Not the sort of player we want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faz Posted 12 May, 2013 Share Posted 12 May, 2013 MISSING: Gael Clichy - Last seen in Callum McManaman's back pocket. If spotted, please contact Manchester City Football Club immediately!

itchen_dan Posted 12 May, 2013 Share Posted 12 May, 2013 Did people not realise his potential last season when he was one of Blackpool's main attacking threats in the Championship during his 3 month loan? In the game at St Mary's he had the confidence to run and attack Richardson and also the confidence to shoot from 20 yards out and it squirmed through Bart's legs. Looked very good that day and after a slow 2nd part of last season and 1st part of this, seems to be developing into a top top player. I think a full season at Championship level next season would do him the world of good confidence wise (weaker full backs, weaker goalkeepers etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a full season at Championship level next season would do him the world of good confidence wise (weaker full backs, weaker goalkeepers etc) After a MOTM performance in the Cup Final, I very much doubt he'll have to drop down a division if he's intent on staying in the PL. He's already been attracting rave reviews so every English club will have been more than aware of him before yesterday. And Wigan will be in need of recouping a bit of money if they go down. Even if they miraculously stay up they'll have a job keeping hold of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has only been playing premier league football for half a season and is 22 years old. He doesn't look or seem bright enough to be coached. A couple of times he could have played Kone (my man of the match, ideal replacement for Lambert) in, but chose the wrong option (often trying to beat another man or shooting from a poor angle), 22 seems a bit old to start having traits coached out of you, and as I said he looks like one of the players not intelligent enough to have those traits coached out of him.

He's skilful, doesn't rely on speed to beat players, can pick a pass and more importantly he's intelligent enough to adapt his game. If he can stay injury free next year he could be sensational, would like to see him improve his shooting though. No more posts left, cheerio.
